Medical Student Education

Welcome to Medical Student Education!

While going through the courses, clerkship and selectives in psychiatric medicine, the students will master a universally held public health concept that includes patients, physicians, and the community. This concept plays a central role in the prevention, incidence, prevalence, manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of illness.With the knowledge gained in psychiatry the students will be able to interact most effectively with their patients.
